Thanks for the suggestions, but I didn't find anything that could help.
Lux's ragdoll plugins either use prop_ragdoll, cs_ragdoll entities that didn't have pose + velocity defined, or usage of the m_isFallingFromLedge netprop on survivors which prevents the death model from spawning.

Should work just pass the client pointer(index) to this function and should create a deathmodel, i'v not tested this just something i detoured.

And force ragdolls or whatever you doing enjoy

Interesting. I'd much more prefer a function that creates client ragdolls, but I guess it'll serve as well...

...but unfortunately, I have no experience with signatures because the tutorials I find are generally confusing.
Damn it.

Look at plugins for examples, use alliedmods API and wiki, best way to learn imo.

PHP Code:

#define GAMEDATA    "CSurvivorDeathModel_Create"


static Handle hCreateDeathModel = null;

public void OnPluginStart()
{
    Handle hGamedata = LoadGameConfigFile(GAMEDATA);
    if(hGamedata == null) 
        SetFailState("Failed to load \"%s.txt\" gamedata.", GAMEDATA);
    
    StartPrepSDKCall(SDKCall_Player);
    PrepSDKCall_SetFromConf(hGamedata, SDKConf_Signature, "CSurvivorDeathModel::Create");
    hCreateDeathModel = EndPrepSDKCall();
    delete hGamedata;
    
    if(hCreateDeathModel == null)
        SetFailState("Unable to prep \"CSurvivorDeathModel::Create\"");
    
}

//example how to call
//SDKCall(hCreateDeathModel, client); 


I think this is what you need, if it don't work for ya idk not really played with it.

Unless you know how pass the proper infomation to CCSPlayer::CreateRagdollEntity(CCSPlayer *this, const CTakeDamageInfo *a2) probs need to use dhooks to get that pointer from function before to get CTakeDamageInfo ptr.

Here is sig for that.

			"CCSPlayer::CreateRagdollEntity"
			{
				"library"		"server"
				"linux"			"@_ZN9CCSPlayer19CreateRagdollEntityERK15CTakeDamageInfo"
				"windows"		"\x55\x8B\xEC\x51\x53\x56\x57\x8B\xF9\x8B\x87\xC0\x28\x00\x00"

Not to be a hassle but how are you getting the signature information? I used the vtable dumper but all I got was the name of the signature, nothing else.

Saw CTerrorPlayer::CreateRagdollEntity(CTakeDamag eInfo const&) and wanted to use that because there wasn't any CCSPlayer::CreateRagdollEntity signature to be found on CTerrorPlayer.

Also, I downloaded and opened up ollydbg.exe and opened server.dll in the left 4 dead 2 folder, before closing it due to confusion. Should I be worried about leaving any residue that might trigger a VAC ban the next time I go out of insecure mode?

Using hexrays IDA to get function signitures.

CTerrorPlayer::CreateRagdollEntity(CTakeDamag eInfo const&) calls both of those signatures i gave you, depending on the type of death and team it will create ragdoll or deathmodel.

Here is the function is pseudo code(windows binary)

PHP Code:

int __thiscall CTerrorPlayer::CreateRagdollEntity(Concurrency::details::UMSSchedulerProxy *this, int a2)
{
  Concurrency::details::UMSSchedulerProxy *v2; // esi
  int v3; // eax
  int result; // eax
  bool v5; // zf
  void (__thiscall *v6)(Concurrency::details::UMSSchedulerProxy *, const char *); // edx
  _DWORD *v7; // ecx

  v2 = this;
  v3 = CBaseEntity::GetTeamNumber(this);
  result = IsASurvivorTeam(v3);
  if ( (_BYTE)result && !*((_BYTE *)v2 + 14886) )
    return CSurvivorDeathModel::Create(v2);
  if ( !*((_BYTE *)v2 + 13225) )
  {
    if ( CBaseEntity::GetTeamNumber(v2) == 3
      && (*(int (__thiscall **)(Concurrency::details::UMSSchedulerProxy *))(*(_DWORD *)v2 + 1340))(v2) == 2 )
    {
      v5 = Concurrency::details::UMSSchedulerProxy::GetTransferListEvent(v2) == (void *)2;
      v6 = *(void (__thiscall **)(Concurrency::details::UMSSchedulerProxy *, const char *))(*(_DWORD *)v2 + 104);
      if ( v5 )
        v6(v2, "models/infected/limbs/exploded_boomette.mdl");
      else
        v6(v2, "models/infected/limbs/exploded_boomer.mdl");
      if ( *((_DWORD *)v2 + 269) )
      {
        if ( *((_BYTE *)v2 + 100) )
        {
          *((_BYTE *)v2 + 104) |= 1u;
        }
        else
        {
          v7 = (_DWORD *)*((_DWORD *)v2 + 10);
          if ( v7 )
          {
            *v7 |= 0x101u;
            *(_WORD *)(GetChangeAccessor(v7) + 2) = 0;
          }
        }
        *((_DWORD *)v2 + 269) = 0;
      }
      *((_DWORD *)v2 + 2602) = 0;
      *((_DWORD *)v2 + 2603) = 0;
      *((_DWORD *)v2 + 2604) = 0;
    }
    result = CCSPlayer::CreateRagdollEntity((int)v2, a2, a2);
  }
  return result;
}

Ah, thanks for notifying me of that.

So, about CTakeDamageInfo, is there any way to create one? Or if not possible, how to get CTakeDamageInfo from the hurt dhook?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ dunno how to create one and get it.

Only way that will maybe work is what i said getting it from the function before(CTerrorPlayer::CreateRagdollEntity) and feeding it to the function you want.

This is something i don't know enough about.

Darn, looks like not everything goes the easy way.
I'm just going to assume not including a CTakeDamageInfo will cause an error so I'll try and search around the forums for dhooks and how to get stuff like CTakeDamageInfo from pointers.
